Steven Soderbergh is "contagious", written by Scott Burns, begins a high state of alert and stays there for the rest of the film. After returning home from Minneapolis to his family business in Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) is reduced to the cruel symptoms two days later, his death and leaving doctors with no answers. As soon as the infection spreads to the global pandemic.
This is not a film for germaphobe. It is also not a film for people who already have enough to worry about. So who do leave exactly? As radical as it is often the "contagion" is not really much, in fact, a classic zombie movie. His real world in good faith gives him a character of immediacy, but the film takes place primarily at putting a scare in us.
And he does it. In case of infection up, the infection becomes a stand-in for everything from the Spanish flu epidemic of to ad nauseam - not to mention the war as a biological weapon.
